Paal 17 Aan Zee\u2019 was moved 23 meters towards the sea, preserving local sand dunes<\/em><\/p>\n

Mammoet successfully relocated a beach pavilion on the island of Texel in the Dutch province of North Holland. This work was necessary following recommendations by local authorities that sands dunes close to the pavilion be allowed to grow.
\n\u00a0
\nThis, in turn, will ensure that there is sufficient room for the dune to grow in order to be strong enough to counteract erosion and rising sea levels. Mammoet performed this work on behalf of JLD Contracting BV.
\n\u00a0
\nIt was important that the move was carried out at relatively short notice, so after just weeks of preparation time the whole pavilion was rolled to its new location in just ten minutes. A live audience watched on, via YouTube streaming.
\n\u00a0
\nGiven the structure\u2019s wooden composition, it was also important to handle it with care.
\n\u00a0
\nThe minutely adjustable surface provided by the deck of Mammoet\u2019s SPMTs made sure that the building could be carried in one piece without deformation. Needless to say, this was the first time a pavilion had been move in this way, in the Netherlands.
\n\u00a0
\nAfter JLD Contracting B.V. installed piling at the building\u2019s proposed new location that would be long enough to absorb future erosion of the beach, they installed a beam layer perpendicular to that on which the building formerly stood.
\n\u00a0
\nA steel platform was constructed beneath the pavilion to guard against bending of the structure, before it was disconnected from gas, water, sewerage and electricity utilities. Paal 17 Aan Zee could then be lifted using the stroke of two SPMT trains.
\n\u00a0
\nThe SPMTs were then driven under the building and took the full weight of it, allowing the old piling to be cut. The pavilion was then driven forward by Mammoet\u2019s SPMT operator, over the newly installed beams, and lowered.
\n\u00a0
\nWith the pavilion in its new location, beach goers can once again enjoy a popular place to relax, while protecting the local environment.<\/p>\n
